About Us

I would like to introduce myself, my name is Frances Duggan and I am from Claregalway, Co. Galway.

After years of experience planning & executing large community events, I realised that my energy on what I love doing most: is Planning Weddings., I have graciously enjoyed offering my Wedding Consultancy Services to friends and family along the way, and I have met and helped amazing couples on their journey to getting married. . I count myself very lucky to have made great friends along the way. To be able to promote Ireland as a Destination Wedding location and show couples abroad the romance and magic that our country can really offer is also a great privilege. I am passionate about detail & planning and love the creative challenge of working with couples to find new and unique ways to celebrate each relationship. In addition, I am also calm under pressure and will do everything in my power to make your worries disappear. I would be only too delighted and prepared to travel and work for you. You can further information about me via the links below.

I would love to offer a complimentary consultation as a chance to meet and discuss further on what we could create together.

Career History

An exceptional events professional who is highly organised, and competent and makes things happen. Frances has a leadership style that motivates and engages others in a positive way. She has a positive attitude and a passion for service delivery, both traits which encourage her to continually review customers. She always takes the lead in organising all aspects of any weddings, corporate events and parties that she may be involved in. Weddings are big days for a couple and their relatives which is why they want that everything goes well. The Wedding jitters and the many details that they need to handle can make them nervous about the actual wedding. It is up to me as a wedding planner to handle these details.
